Rename all files in the folder to the created date

There are a number of solutions already posted.  If you are happy with a dos batch command script then can you confirm which OS you are using?

Chris

Windows 2003 OS

Apologies unless someone else advises sooner it'll take me a while as I haven't found one that works for me yet ... I am using XP however.

Chris

There is one here for win 2k that might work but I strongly recommend you work on a copy of some photos in a test folder as I cannot say if it'll work on 2003 ... unless someone else advises an alternative.

Nice to see someone who knows something ..  I thought I would be able to help but quickly found myself out of my depth, so I am pleased to leave it to you with no guilt that I am letting the requestor down.
